Default Re: Reader's block

I sense a reader's block coming on shortly. I usually try to shore up a few good not-yet-read and reread books for these situations, but my bookshelf is in a terrible state and I can't seem to find the books that I want. Couple that with my plan B, the library, to whom I owe quite a lot of money for overdue books that took me too long to read. I'm up shit creek. Word of caution: do not follow up the great 19thC storytellers with mid-20thC experimentalists, it's a leap few can make...

I'm going to try to retreat into the Modernists and medieval literature.
